85. There's "free trade" and then there's "fair trade"...
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 10:32 PM by MrMickeysMom
and this is not fair trade. Of course you have to open up the trade agreement and change the way labor becomes the lowest common denominator. Remember the Maciadora and trails of the dead chicken? These people in Mexico couldn't afford to buy what they make for slave labor. Is THAT the kind of global economy you want, Mr. President? I do not think so.

Since this is the year, it seems of, "nothing is as it seems to be", I'll just say, I'm extremely disappointed. I notice the harshest points of view correspond with low post counts. Who's kidding whom here?

NAFTA has been the door to "the giant sucking sound" a la Ross Perot's early warning. Remember Perot? I worked my ass off for him in 92, then I found out that he was not much different in following through.

There is more to this than what meets the eyes. You can probably bet as much money on that as the theory of "a one term presidency".
